LAS VEGAS – Soccer is officially back, and while the stadium's seats might be empty, all eyes are back on the world’s major leagues as they resume competition.
Friday offers some terrific matchups in the English Premier League and Spanish La Liga as some of the top teams are in action for the first time since the stoppage of play due to the coronavirus.
Soccer bettors can get excited about some favorable odds on Friday. While there is a certain sense of unknowing regarding how teams will play after so much time off, oddsmakers favorites have done well over the past week and teams seem to be continuing their previous form.
Premier League
Tottenham Hotspur VS Manchester United
- Tottenham +200
- Manchester United +135
- Draw +225
A high-profile matchup sees both Tottenham and Manchester United playing their first games since the break beginning at 3:15 p.m. EST.
Both teams are in a battle on the Premier League table with Man U in fifth position – three points out of the top four group – and the Spurs sitting back in eighth – seven points separating them from a UCL berth.
It will be a hard-fought battle for the fourth spot over these last nine matches, and today is sure to be no different.
Tottenham is getting the slight edge here largely due to the return of their best attackers in Harry Kane and Son Heung-min. Both missed significant time before the break and are now fully healthy for this final stretch, with Kane in particular itching to get back to his standards.
It has been a long and hardworking road to recovery but it will feel so good to be back out there playing on Friday for a number of reasons. 💪⚽️ pic.twitter.com/Y2SyVURKiu

United is looking to continue its strong defensive form that saw the Red Devils bag wins against Man City and Chelsea before the break. Man U also won their last matchup 2-1 following a brace from Marcus Rashford.

Both teams will certainly be dealing with rust, but the match will come down to who can build an attack and move the ball vertically. Harry Kane could be the difference-maker in a close result.
Norwich City VS Southampton
- Norwich City +180
- Southampton +150
- Draw +245
While Southampton was nothing impressive before the break, Norwich City was significantly worse.
Norwich sits are the very bottom of the league standings and will need a complete rebirth to avoid relegation.
Southampton should be the safe bet at online sportsbooks in this 1 p.m. EST match.
Spanish La Liga
Sevilla VS Barcelona
- Sevilla +260
- Barcelona +103
- Draw +250
While Sevilla is getting some hype in this matchup, getting Barcelona at +103 is absurd.
Barcelona is the much stronger club and is in a battle for the league championship with Real Madrid.
Don’t expect Messi and company to let up, as the 4 p.m. EST match should be a great watch and betting opportunity.
